Taking the third spot on my top 10 list for Sasquatch! are one of my favorite bands, Tegan and Sara. We got some pretty sweet spots in the pit thanks to a lot of the Cold War Kids fans who left, which was great because Tegan and Sara really aren't a band that you can sit far away on a lawn to watch; with their witty and engaging stage banter and emotion laced songs, it's almost silly to distance yourself away from these girls when they're tearing up the stage. Of course,... MORE

what: Folk-rock duo Tegan and Sara first burst onto the Canadian music scene in 1998, when they earned the highest score in history at Calgary’s Garage Warz competition. Their quick rise didn’t stop, for their melodic acoustics and charming stage personas led to a slew of dates with Sarah McLachlan’s Lilith Fair that same year and a record deal with Neil Young’s Vap...

I'm going to have to start off by saying that I've gone to some killer ass shows this year... just a few include Daft Punk at the LA sports arena where kids walked out asking if they had just been abducted by aliens, Arcade Fire / LCD Soundsystem / Blonde Redhead where 20,000 kids showed up to Randall's Island, Paramore (two times? maybe three. i've lost count), Tegan and Sara three times in a row this summer... But It's safe to say that tonight's show definitely made th... MORE

First close analysis of Tegan and Sara for myself was the broke-living-phase almost entirely deliberately experienced whilst in Ireland, feeling cynical about life; I remember repeating "I Know" and "Monday" in my living room. Subjecting me flatmates to a welcome home party of my shock wave self enjoying the periodic self doubt I had induced with the dark pint. They're Canadian, Yeah? These sole moments then infiltrated by encouragement of eminent voices trailing across t... MORE
Well, my last two tracks have painted pretty vivid horror movie pictures, so I decided to go another direction with this one. The lyrics are pretty minimalist and I think might actually be about a more metaphorical kind of ghost, but I still find this creepy. Whether it's about an actual phantom or a bad relationship or just bad memories, it's definitely about being haunted. This may say more about me than it does about the song, but there's all this space in the lyrics... MORE
This review is long overdue. It has been two long weeks since I saw Tegan and Sara at the Malibu Performing Arts Center. The Malibu Perf. is surprisingly cheesy, but the beauty of the place is that it is really quite small. I was in the first row, a little off to the side, and I didn’t miss my glasses much—a refreshing change from seeing Bob Dylan. There was no opening act, so Tegan and Sara just walked modestly onto the stage. Right from the start, T&S delivered a solid... MORE
Mogstars out of ten: Nine With two members of Death Cab, The Rentals’ frontman and that bloke from AFI all involved in the project, Canadian chanteuses Tegan and Sara’s fifth full length offering is steeped in indie pedigree, yet it is the terrific twins themselves which gives it a homespun and friendly feel. While retaining the usual comforting melodies and gorgeous harmonies that you would expect from the girls, The Con is very much darker than their previous outings... MORE
But sitting on hold for ages has allowed me to listen to some of my music for a change. And I love Tegan and Sara. I don't know much about their history but I always associated them with Belle and Sebastian which I don't care for. Maybe it was just the "blank and blank" titling. Anyway, I really enjoy the clear vocals and lyrics like: "Look me in the eye and tell me that you don't find me attractiveLook me in the heart and tell me you won't goLook me in the eye and ...
